Why are you so enamored with the weight class? Pettis has beat the champ of 155. Edgar/Pettis deserve their shots more than KZ/Lamas.

Edgar coming off 2 losses did not deserve a title shot neither does pettis you had a guy in Lamas who was far more deserving becuase he actually is winning at FW i agree with rico this is karma slapping pettis for being impatient and not waiting out his shot at LW

Yeah far more deserving for catching a lucky break and falling on top of the guy. Just like Vitor deserved that belt from Couture when he cut him with his glove.

So....3 months from now I assume that we'll be arguing about who should be facing Jose Aldo or Frankie Edgar for the 145 title and its going to come up how Ricardo Lamas is 4-0 with a dominating finish over Erik Koch. What we will all fail to forget is that this fight was pretty darn competitive for 1.5 rounds until Lamas slipped and Koch went in and fell down, and Lamas ended up on top. Prior to that...Koch was able to block every takedown and I felt was getting better of the exchanges in the standup.

The position was. He never would have got there without it and there's a good chance Koch takes the fight.

You don't know that, you're pretty much just talking out of your *** to make it seem like you're making a good point. Lamas capitalized on a mistake which is a part of fighting and beat Koch's *** for making that mistake. You trying to write that off is beyond silly

How is it talking out of my *** when there is a round and a half of proof that Lamas wasn't winning the fight.

This was a blessing is disguise for Pettis because he was going to get KTFO. The UFC doesn't owe him anything now, he got the title shot in a division that he has never competed in and got injured. This guy is like Okami a few years ago. Always at the top and then title shot comes around and he can't stay healthy. Wasn't he out the majority of last year due to a shoulder injury?

I could take Mendes out of his fight with Guida and have Lamas/Mendes fight Aldo/Zombie.

I just wrote something similar on the main page but I'm fine with KZ vs Aldo. Curious if the KZ hype train is worth getting on board. Plus, Nik Lentz can be ready by the beginning of July. Lentz vs Lamas will be good and would be my #1 contender match. Have Siver/Swanson winner fight Mendes/Guida winner for #2 contender. Edgar/Oliveira winner can fight Pettis when he comes back.

lol there's that hater word again. Just thrown out there whenever someone disagrees with something....

Lamas/KZ just aren't in the same league as Aldo (proven). Pettis is (proven). Ergo, he deserved the shot more. Now he's hurt, I'm f---ing pissed beyond belief.

Need to get drunk.

He's not proven at 145 so he is not deserving. Pettis definitely deserved Bendo, but not Aldo. You obviously just really wanted to see Aldo fight Pettis so you will find any way to justify him getting it over the real deserving contenders, but in the end like I said, justice was served and a worthy opponent at 145 is getting his opportunity
